Western Union announces fundraising project during the ‘Winter Escapade
2’ tour to support and uplift livelihood communities in the Philippines.

Manila, Philippines,
January 30, 2015 – More than 200 Filipino Canadians are looking forward to
experiencing the warm welcome of our fellowmen, the warm hugs of their family
and friends and the warm sunshine in the Philippines as they visit the country
for their Winter Escapade 2 – It’s More
Fun in the Philippines tour this coming January 30 to February 6, 2015, The
Western Union Company (NYSE:WU), a leader in global payment services, announced
today.

The Department of Foreign Affairs, Tourism Promotions Board
of the Philippines and the Philippine Embassy to Canada has again organized a
heritage tour for Filipino Canadians in Canada to visit the Philippines to
deepen their connection with the country’s beautiful and rich history, heritage
and culture. It is also an opportunity to attract investment into tourism
projects in the country.

Western Union has been an active supporter of the tour since
2008 and this year, they will show support for the Winter Escapade 2 tour through
the launching of the Western Union Sunshine
Adventure promotion for its delegates. Participants will simply take
“selfies” in different historical tourist spots during the tour and upload
their entries in their respective Facebook accounts using the hashtag
#WUSunshineWE2 for a chance to win special prizes during the tour’s farewell dinner.

Participants are encouraged to request their friends to ‘Like’
and share their photos with the end view of gathering more Likes for the
project. For every Like, Western Union will match an equivalent amount of one
hundred pesos (1 Like = P100) (to a maximum contribution of PHP500,000). The
amount raised by the collective Likes will go to a special cause supported by
the Philippine posts comprising Team Philippines in Canada.

“Western Union recognizes that many Filipino migrants feel a
sense of responsibility to help out fellow countrymen and as a company we are
giving them opportunities to build these connections,” said Patricia Riingen, Senior
Vice President, Southeast Asia & Oceania, Western Union. “The activity aims
to gather ‘Likes’ and shares from friends and families of our Filipino Canadian
delegates, in a collective effort to raise funds for our Like for a Cause project,”
Added Riingen.

Through the Western
Union Sunshine Adventure promotion, support will be given to help boost the
livelihood of different communities in the Philippines. Both the Winter
Escapade 2 tour delegates can participate in Like for a Cause project.
